Computer Vision in Vehicle Technology: Land, Sea, and Air

A unified view of the use of computer vision technology for different types of vehicles

Computer Vision in Vehicle Technology focuses on computer vision as on-board technology, bringing together fields of research where computer vision is progressively penetrating: the automotive sector, unmanned aerial and underwater vehicles. It also serves as a reference for researchers of current developments and challenges in areas of the application of computer vision, involving vehicles such as advanced driver assistance (pedestrian detection, lane departure warning, traffic sign recognition), autonomous driving and robot navigation (with visual simultaneous localization and mapping) or unmanned aerial vehicles (obstacle avoidance, landscape classification and mapping, fire risk assessment).

The overall role of computer vision for the navigation of different vehicles, as well as technology to address on-board applications, is analysed.

Key features:

• Presents the latest advances in the field of computer vision and vehicle technologies in a highly informative and understandable way, including the basic mathematics for each problem.
• Provides a comprehensive summary of the state of the art computer vision techniques in vehicles from the navigation and the addressable applications points of view.
• Offers a detailed description of the open challenges and business opportunities for the immediate future in the field of vision based vehicle technologies.

This is essential reading for computer vision researchers, as well as engineers working in vehicle technologies, and students of computer vision.

「車輛技術中的電腦視覺技術的統一觀點」

「車輛技術中的電腦視覺」專注於電腦視覺作為車載技術的應用，將電腦視覺逐漸應用於汽車、無人機和水下載具等領域的研究領域結合在一起。它也作為一個參考，供研究人員了解當前電腦視覺應用領域的發展和挑戰，包括高級駕駛輔助（行人檢測、車道偏離警告、交通標誌識別）、自動駕駛和機器人導航（視覺同時定位和地圖繪製）或無人機（避障、景觀分類和地圖繪製、火災風險評估）等與車輛相關的應用領域。

本書分析了電腦視覺在不同車輛導航中的整體作用，以及應對車載應用的技術。

主要特點：
- 以高度信息化和易理解的方式介紹了電腦視覺和車輛技術領域的最新進展，包括每個問題的基本數學知識。
- 從導航和可應用點的角度全面總結了車輛中的最新電腦視覺技術。
- 詳細描述了基於視覺的車輛技術領域在即將到來的未來所面臨的挑戰和商業機會。

這本書對於電腦視覺研究人員、從事車輛技術工作的工程師以及電腦視覺學生來說是必讀之物。
